Bluewater Campground: A Scenic and Clean Retreat in Prewitt, NM

Hiking trails wind through the park and provide opportunities to explore the rugged terrain and enjoy panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The bathroom nearest my campsite was a vault toilet, but a clean one. Real bathrooms are available at the visitor center, a long walk north of my tent. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best.

Older couple asked us what they should do because they actually reserved and paid for the spot that the unruly people took over. Ranger was called over and did nothing. We assume older couple was told to camp at another spot because the large family didn’t move. They then proceeded to play extremely loud music well past midnight. No camp fires were to be had but those were going every night.

• They have provided garbage bins.
• They also allow dispersed camping along the lake and there were probably 50+ groups of people in RVs and trailers comfortably spaced.
• A forest of cottonwoods, pinon, and juniper surrounds the lake.

Had 40 designated campsites with about 1/2 reservable online and 1/2 first come first serve. They also allow dispersed camping along the lake and there were probably 50+ groups of people in RVs and trailers comfortably spaced. I recommend following the trail at the north end of the campground for a nice view of the dam (it was a 10 to 15 minute hike for me, narrow but level). The lake is also open for boating and fishing, with a launch ramp near the campground.

Only drawback was the all night  incessant  winds. They were strong, gusty and loud. So strong they collapsed my tent on top of me. It might have been where I was (pad 44),  They were still strong in the morning, but I noticed they were less/non existant at the campsites near the main entrance. In addition to camping and outdoor activities, the park offers picnic areas with shelters, making it an ideal spot for family gatherings and outdoor meals. There are also playgrounds and a visitor center where you can learn more about the park’s natural and cultural history.

Are fires allowed at Bluewater Lake State Park Campground?

It was dark and quiet at night, and I slept well. Uncrowded when we were there State park located right on a man-made lake. Unfortunately, the lake level is extremely low! Decent sites each with picnic table and fire pit some with shade canopies others with a little natural tree cover, not a lot of privacy. Pit toilets, no drinking water available except at maybe the RV sites with hookups and at the pump outstation? I did not have a site reservation, buit there were lots of vacent LuckyTrunk casino login pads available.
It was a bit cold, got down to 15, there was some leftover snow in some spots but nothing that was a problem. Last night something was bugging the dogs so I looked outside to see a herd of wild horses grazing next to our camper! There are lots of good hiking trails. The water is still on here and the dump stations are open if needed. Most have a level, gravel tent pad, table and fire ring. One bathroom with sinks and flush toilets.
